Office 365 Attack Simulator is not working

This might be a little off topic, but I would recommend you to try the new attack simulation training feature instead of the old attack simulator tool found in the Security & Compliance center.
The new feature enables you to use a whole different kind of payloads, and also is able to give the end-user access to trainings.
You can find this new attack simulation training in the M365 Security Center:
1: Go to https://security.microsoft.com/
2: Click on the Attack simulation trainingPlease be aware that this is in preview, but all functions that i've tried have been working just fine.

Pontus Själander I think it's a permissions issue - what role do I need to create new simulation in the new https://security.microsoft.com/attacksimulator please? Thank you
- Hi Sarah,
I would advice you to take a look at this article, there are a couple of roles available for the Attack Simulation that might fit your needs:

Pontus Själander How do you actually launch a new attack from the https://security.microsoft.com/ Attack Simulator Training? If you go into the link to learn more about it, it says to go to https://protection.office.com/attacksimulator which is the old version being retired next week?
- Thanks, and I've discovered this recently. It's improved a lot and the new tool is pretty handy.
- Good to bring that up Pontus!
Not to promote in any way but I expect to have a new blog about Attack Simulation Training written by myself to be added to practical365.com this week.
As you said the Simulation Training has a lot of extras including some really good reporting capabilities and some nice security awareness training you can offer to your users.BemmelenPatrick Awsome, looking forward to see it!
